Food for thought
9:39 PMI'm not fat. Really, I'm not. Here's a video of Alesandra Danilova performing the choreography of Sugar Plum that I know… I'm skinnier than her, and I can do the dance just as well.
Here's Margot Fonteyn doing Le Corsaire. I'm skinnier than her too.
Here's my audition shot in high-school, before I lost weight.
I look pretty much the same now, more toned in the thighs and back, and I have a much better arabesque, but I had—and still have—larger legs.
Why do ballerinas have to be super skinny? there's no reason for it. curves look better on a lady than protruding bones do anyway.
One of these days, my dancers—who will be fit and strong and healthy—will take the world by a storm, and remind the companies that you don't have to be a size 00 to dance.
